Abstract
Abstract Molecularly oriented, textured continuous filaments are made from thermoplastic materials by A. SPINNING CONTINUOUS FILAMENTS FROM A MULTI-ORIFICE SPINNERET AND DRAWING THE FILAMENTS THEREFROM WITHOUT DEFORMING SAME AT A SPEED OF AT LEAST 2,500 METERS PER MINUTE TO A RESIDUAL ELONGATION AT BREAK OF NOT GREATER THAN 200%; THEREAFTER B. CRIMPING THE PRESTRETCHED FILAMENTS FROM (A) AND FURTHER STRETCHING SAME TO A RESIDUAL ELONGATION BY A FALSE-TWISTING STEP CARRIED OUT IN THE FIRST HEATING PASSAGE OF A TEXTURING DEVICE.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
Process for producing synthetic textured yarn of molecularly oriented filaments which comprises a. spinning continuous filaments from a multi-orifice spinneret and at the same time winding the freshly spun filaments and thus drawing them with a longitudinal speed of at least 2,500 meters per minute to a residual elongation at break of not greater than 200% to produce a prestretched and still drawable untextured yarn; thereafter b. in a false twisting step, crimping said drawable untextured yarn and stretching it in the first heating passage of the false twisting device, the stretching being done at a draw ratio between 1.2 and 1,8.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
Process of claim 1 wherein the filaments are drawn at a velocity of about 3,000-4,000 meters per minute to an elongation at break less than 150% down to about 90%.
